My plant obsession

Trial 02: Update 1

Trial 2 is about sowing time, germination rate and speed of growth of annual seeds. A race, essentially, more details here. One group was sown on 4th February, the second group will be sown a couple of months later in April.

I checked how they were getting on at the weekend. The Cosmos has germinated pretty fast, under a week judging by the growth so far. The seedlings are a good few cm tall already, some still wearing a seed cap.

The Propagator

I’ve been raising plants from seed for a good few years with some reasonable results. I’ve also dabbled a bit with cuttings with very patchy results. I became a little obsessed with the topic of propagation in 2016 and resolved to improve my success rate and to share what I discovered.
This blog is my assorted ramblings, progress, disasters, setbacks, results and some tips along the way. The focus was initially propagation, which still features heavily but has expanded to cover the veg plot and the general state of the garden. The blog is mostly for my benefit, to keep track of what I've done, and hopefully is also of some interest to other planty obsessives.
